i also don't mind re-doing it again as i enjoy playing the game. I mean why else would you play it?.....
.....I don't want to put words into your mouth so i will use your own instead. "I can only assume these people are extremely masochistic to want to re-level and acquire zenni all over again" this says to me that you don't enjoy playing the game? i absolutely love taking down mobs while the zeni and loot as well as levels come doing just that. I mean why complain about what is pretty much the only thing you do to do or get anything (taking down mobs) when you should play games for fun, not to torture yourself?.....
.....I feel like i'm writing too much so i will stop here. but i would like you to know that i both respect and understand why you dislike the idea of a wipe but at the same time we all agreed to it and knew it was going to happen if we bothered to read the rules and code of conduct.....
First off, I appreciate you taking the time out to write thought out responses to my posts. No reason to feel like you're "writing to much" as respectful and level-headed discourse is always a good thing.
In regard to your reasoning for enjoying the game, however, I must disagree. Any game that is "grind heavy" like DBO, Tera online, just mmos in general I'd say this applies to. These games are enjoyable because you put the time and effort into getting something in the game, and later are rewarded. The grind itself is usually EXTREMELY unenjoyable. With DBO, the beautiful maps and wonderful music make it tolerable. What I enjoy most in DBO is end level PVP, flying around exploring maps, sitting around chilling with ppl, and just in general re-living the nostalgia from a few years ago. While grinding CAN occasionally be relaxing, it can also be mind numbingly boring and downright painful. Right now I need to grind until lvl 59 because all the lvl 58 quests in Dark Namek are broken. I have dropped some u58 stones which is great for selling and such, but the process is just excrutiating to me.
Again, maybe some people like yourself find grinding and farming to be enjoyable, but for me and others like me, we find the monotony very unbearable....and thinking of needing to do it all over again is like a nightmare! e.e
